Using Reserve Materials

You must have a valid Pitt ID card.

Only 2 reserve items may be checked out at one time.

Print items placed on two-hour reserve (with some exceptions) may be checked out overnight two hours before the library closes, and must be returned the following morning within the first hour the library opens to avoid any fines.

One renewal for two-hour loans; no renewals for 1-day, 3-day or 7-day loans. If available, reserve materials can be checked out again after one hour.

Fines for reserve items are $1.80 per hour per item for two-hour loans and $1 per day per item for 1-day, 3-day and 7-day loan periods. There is no grace period on reserve materials.
